In one of my previous posts, I shared my initial impressions of Microsoft Live Writer (Beta). One of the reasons I gave for trying this program is the troubles I had with losing posts I was composing with the web interface for DasBlog.
Well, it appears someone has had the same troubles I had and did something about it. Enter Protect TextArea, a script addition for GreaseMonkey. This little gem protects all that hard work from going to waste if you happen to accidentally navigate away from the page.
It watches textareas (multi line input boxes in web forms) for changes, and makes sure you don't throw them away. If you: navigate away from the web page, close the tab, or close the browser after making changes to a textarea on a web page, this script will throw up a prompt.
For those of you that work a lot with web forms, this script could be your next best friend.
